lots of carbon fibre and frp







shell is off being blasted at the moment

today went for a trip down to essex to SRB Power and picked up everything i've ordered for weeks now, so i have:

SRB Power 50mm fender roll rear overfenders
SRB Power FRP doors
SRB Power carbon fibre roof skin
SRB Power carbon fibre rear window spoiler
also have some flat FRP sheet to make into some flat door cards
and have the lexan rear quarter windows on order now aswell

the doors are amazing at only 4.5kg each

soon as the shell is back i can crack on trial fitting everything and start prepping it all and getting it ready for paint

the roof skin has been cut out ready for the roll cage and the inner wings have been cut out for the wheel arch tubs,more cutting to come.

more parts




more parts have been bought for the project, i now have a pair of chargespeed S13.5conversion wings and a pair of lexan front windows (slider in drivers side)i'm hoping with all the lightweight fibreglass,carbon fibre and lexan windows that it will be lighter than standard even allowing for the extra weight of the cage.
